Hello, we are trying to locate a graphics editor which will accept
as input a postscript file (produced by another non-editable graphics package).
We know we can edit the postscript instructions by hand, but that is
a very tedious task and we are looking for a more elegant solution.
We have been told that the idraw program which is part of the Interviews 
package can do this sort of thing. We have the man page for idraw, but
it isn't clear whether idraw can accept arbitrary postscript input
or whether it can only work on files that were created with idraw.

We transferred the idraw binary from sgi.com, but it dumps core
on our SGI 4D 310 running IRIX 3.3.3. Has anyone been able to get this binary
to work on their SGI? We don't have C++ so we can't
try to recompile Interviews. 

Does anyone know of any other programs for an SGI which can edit graphs using
postscript source as the input and output? Thanks, Gary Klaassen
